lyrics

my heart is wind up toy
good things come and i have a point
but when friction kicks in i slow down and fade out

i'm easily pleased
i want the bread but i settle for the seeds
i live in a castle built of crumbs and it does not bother me

so wind me up and watch me turn
i'll mystify and make you question how it's done
i'm a one trick pony wide eyed and lonely and i'm the only one that does it like me

i've tried complicating things
by not holding on to what i know i need
but when the mirror and my eyes meet
i'm reminded of what i left behind

we only get so many breaths
in and out this air will soon leave our chest
and with my many doubts i'll be left all alone, all alone

all alone, all alone this wandering soul has yet to find a home
i'll take handouts if you got 'em if not i'll find em
